Bodycam footage shows Florida cop gun down airman in his own home without warning

Authorities in Florida released shocking police bodycam footage Thursday that showed an Okaloosa County Sheriff’s deputy shooting and killing an armed special operations US airman in his own apartment — before the cop even told him to drop his gun.

The unidentified deputy was responding to the Chez Elan Apartments in Fort Walton Beach May 3 on a domestic violence call — a woman said she heard arguing from a frequently-troubled couple in a nearby apartment.

Roger Fortson’s family said that the deputy barged into the wrong apartment — and that the 23-year-old had armed himself with his own legal handgun in response to suspicious knocks at his door.
